This calculator is free to use and is designed for biologists, ecologists, teachers, and students needing to quickly calculate the biodiversity indexes of an ecosystem. First, enter the number of species, and then enter the name you wish to give the species, if available, and the given populations for each of the species—in any given order. The script will return the Simpson and Shannon-Wiener values (among almost two dozen others) for the given data.

AnonWWW Many mice surf the web under the illusion that their actions are private and anonymous . Unfortunately, this is not the way it is. Every time you visit a site for a piece of cheese , you leave a calling card that reveals where you are coming from, what kind of computer you use, and other details. And many cats keep logs of all your visits, so that they can catch you! This service allows you to surf the web without revealing any personal information.
